OAR 137-049-0220
Prequalification of Offerors


(1)

Prequalification. Pursuant to ORS 279C.430 (Prequalification of bidders) and this rule, two types of prequalification are authorized:

(a)

Mandatory Prequalification. A Contracting Agency may, by rule, resolution, ordinance or other law or regulation, require mandatory prequalification of Offerors on forms prescribed by the Contracting Agency’s Contract Review Authority. A Contracting Agency must indicate in the Solicitation Document if it will require mandatory prequalification. Mandatory prequalification is when a Contracting Agency conditions a Person’s submission of an Offer upon the Person’s prequalification. The Contracting Agency shall not consider an Offer from a Person that is not prequalified if the Contracting Agency required prequalification.

(b)

Permissive Prequalification. A Contracting Agency may prequalify a Person for the Contracting Agency’s solicitation list on forms prescribed by the Contracting Agency’s Contract Review Authority, but in permissive prequalification the Contracting Agency shall not limit distribution of a solicitation to that list.

(2)

Prequalification Presumed. If an Offeror is currently prequalified by either the Oregon Department of Transportation or the Oregon Department of Administrative Services to perform Contracts, the Offeror shall be rebuttably presumed qualified to perform similar Work for other Contracting Agencies.

(3)

Standards for Prequalification. A Person may prequalify by demonstrating to the Contracting Agency’s satisfaction:

(a)

That the Person’s financial, material, equipment, facility and personnel resources and expertise, or ability to obtain such resources and expertise, indicate that the Person is capable of meeting all contractual responsibilities;

(b)

The Person’s record of performance;

(c)

The Person’s record of integrity;

(d)

The Person is qualified to contract with the Contracting Agency. (See, OAR 137-049-0390 (Offer Evaluation and Award; Determination of Responsibility)(2) regarding standards of responsibility.)

(4)

Notice of Denial. If a Person fails to prequalify for a mandatory prequalification, the Contracting Agency shall notify the Person, specify the reasons under section (3) of this rule and inform the Person of the Person’s right to a hearing under ORS 279C.445 (Appeal of disqualification) and 279C.450 (Appeal procedure for decision to deny, revoke or revise prequalification).
